<p style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The mother of Naveed Akram, who, along with his father, allegedly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/terror-attack-on-australian-hanukkah-celebration-leaves-11-dead-dozens-wounded?author=Hank+Berrien&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=24&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Terror+Attack+On+Australian+Hanukkah+Celebration+Leaves+15+Dead%2C+Dozens+Wounded" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killed</a> more than a dozen people at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday, insisted her son was a “good boy.”</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Footage shows Naveed Akram, 24, and his father, Sajid, calmly leaving a rented home in Campsie late Sunday afternoon, climbing into a silver hatchback, and driving toward Bondi Beach. Less than 90 minutes later, police say the pair opened fire on a Hanukkah celebration, killing at least 15 people and wounding dozens more in a targeted attack on Jews.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="567" data-end="891">The footage contradicts what Akram had told his family earlier that day. According to his mother, Verena, the men were supposedly enjoying a wholesome fishing trip, complete with swimming, scuba diving, and dinner plans. Instead, investigators allege, the father-son duo were holed up in a short-term rental preparing for mass murder.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="893" data-end="1265">Sajid was shot dead by police at the scene. Naveed was also shot and remains in critical condition, though authorities say he is likely to survive. Police later recovered multiple weapons, an Islamic State flag, and improvised explosive devices. Federal authorities are now investigating the men’s recent trip to the Philippines, a known hub for Islamist extremist groups.</p>

He doesn’t even go out. He doesn’t mix around with friends,” claiming her son did not drink, smoke, or “go to bad places.” “Anyone would wish to have a son like my son … he’s a good boy,” she insisted.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">That statement came as police cordoned off the family home and confirmed that her “good boy” allegedly helped carry out one of the deadliest attacks in Australian history.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="1768" data-end="2044">Akram, an unemployed bricklayer laid off two months earlier, reportedly studied Koranic teachings and had traveled overseas shortly before the attack. His father, a fruiterer who migrated to Australia in the late 1990s, had returned from multiple trips abroad in recent years. Sajid “arrived in 1998 on a student visa, transferred in 2001 to a partner visa and after trips overseas has been on resident return visas, which occurred three times,” Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke revealed.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-start="2046" data-end="2353" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Authorities continue to investigate potential links to terrorism and ideological motivations. Meanwhile, Jewish families are burying their dead while the alleged murderer’s mother refuses to acknowledge her son’s evil.</p>
